That speculation received a new twist when ESPN's Dave McMenamin shared an update on the Dallas Mavericks' position. Speaking on ESPN LA, McMenamin reported: “Dallas — I’m told — they would only be interested in LeBron in a buyout situation.”

The New York Knicks are hiring Mike Brown as their next head coach. The 55-year-old has been part of the NBA coaching scene since he started as an assistant with the Washington Wizards in 1997. A significant portion of Brown’s coaching career has been spent alongside LeBron James.
